The complexity of modern electrical power systems is steadily increasing with the penetration of massive amount of asynchronously connected renewable generation. This generation that is connected through inverters reduces the inertia of the Grid and significantly changes how today’s power system operates. These characteristics require shortened power system response time and strategies for dealing with the grid’s reduced Inertia and weakened system strengths.

GE Vernova offers complete Network Interconnection protection based on System Integrity Protection Schemes (SIPS) solutions for Transmission utilities, and operators to protect the integrity of the interconnected network. These automated solutions with validated application function blocks provide the network real time actions for protecting interconnections and providing network operators with visibility and advanced notifications of impeding interconnected network separation.
Grid Interconnections are found between:
Where one region will have generation surplus and other region may have generation shortfall – interconnecting maintains stability of both the regions
GE Vernova offers two approaches for reducing instabilities and overloads on interconnected networks to provide safety and reliability to these networks. These approaches may be combined or used separately.
GE Vernova's contingency action solution detects a disturbance in one part of an interconnected network which could result in interconnection overloading or frequency and voltage stability conditions. GE Vernova’s solution will take action to remediate these situations by stabilizing the load and generation on the networks thereby protecting the interconnect.
System oscillations* across an interconnect are caused by a major change (fault) in the connected networks and the associated sources are attempting to compensate to balance the load and generation. If oscillations persist local protections within a network will react to protect the asset and trip the generators offline.
Using synchrophasor, GE Vernova's system oscillation remediation solution detects network oscillations and determines if these will heal itself. When it is determined these oscillations will not heal itself, GE Vernova's solution will attempt to dampen the oscillations and if needed trip the interconnect.
*Both system (natural) and forced oscillations
GE Vernova's oscillation detection solution monitors the active power flow between Turkey and Bulgaria/Greece.
Upon detection of the oscillation, GE Vernova solution will shed up to 1400MW of load across 15 substations located in Istanbul region to dampen the oscillations.

For fast and cost-effective measurement and diagnostics, GE Vernova offers advanced inspection methods that do not require the asset to be opened, including;
The service includes recommendation in the choice of inspection methods, onsite inspections, diagnosis and maintenance recommendations captured in a condition assessment report.
GE Vernova provides assistance in method selection. Depending on the asset, the component to assess and the type of defect to detect, one or more complementary methods of non-intrusive inspections could be recommended.
The selection of methods will take into account the application, the criticality, the history and events occurred. If the inspection requires the use of several advanced non-intrusive methods, they can be performed during the same short planned outage when mandatory.
In case of defect, the diagnosis can be generated remotely in a few hours by the GE Vernova expert. High quality measurement and data generated provides conclusive results which are compared to models created to evaluate the acceptable limits. Those models are developed by GE Vernova matter experts from R&D and manufacturing, this expertise in diagnosis is built on 125 years of experience in high voltage equipment engineering.
As part of the service, GE Vernova provides a comprehensive inspection report including the results, the diagnosis, the expected remaining lifetime of the devices, and a detailed recommendation to plan the necessary maintenance or replacement actions.
Advanced non-intrusive inspection enables deployment of Asset Performance Management (APM) on a fleet of circuit breakers.

Internal component image is printed on a flexible plate and runs through a high resolution (~40µm) laser scanner which reads and digitizes the film. The digital X-ray image produced is viewed and enhanced using powerful image processing software. Contrast, brightness, filtration and zoom can be customized.
Digital X-Ray inspection is suitable to evaluate the condition of aluminum, porcelain or polymer main, arcing and moving components. The defects that can be detected include:
Dynamic Contact Resistance Measurement (DCRM) is conducted by injecting a Direct Current through the breaker. The voltage drop is measured when the breaker operates a close-open cycle at rated speed. The acquisition unit then calculates the resistance value. During a phase of the motion, arcing contacts are the only parts which touch, the condition of these contacts can be assess.
The comparison between the pattern reference and the measurement curve supports the condition of the arcing contacts and the breaker chamber moving parts assessment. Any change in dynamic/frictional characteristics of the circuit breaker immediately reflects as a change in the dynamic resistance signature.
DCRM fingerprint deviation indicates various defects including:
Any mechanical movement in equipment produces sounds and/or vibrations. The resulting signals are propagated to the external structure via various parts of the mechanism and through the interrupting medium. The accelerometers positioned on the external structure of the circuit breaker measure the vibration bursts. As the vibration fingerprints is highly repeatable for a healthy circuit-breaker, a change in dynamic/frictional characteristics immediately reflects a change in the vibration pattern and thus highlights a defect.
The main characteristic of vibration diagnostics is the detection of a change between a vibration fingerprints recorded during operation and the reference.
Typical problems indicated by deviation in the vibration pattern include:
The monitoring of the Gas-Insulated Substation (GIS) insulation health through measurement of partial discharge is the most efficient and competitive solution to prevent potential high repair cost and long downtime.
Partial discharge is the source of electromagnetic waves in the range of ultra high frequency from 300 to 2000MHz. The signal goes along the GIS and is easily captured by the antenna. Both UHF internal or external sensors can be installed on any type of GIS up to 800kV. The system can monitor SF6 and g³ filled equipment. The frequency spectrum and time analysis of the UHF signal assist supervision of commissioning, operation and maintenance.
The pattern shape supports accurate identification of default type including:
The analysis of dielectric materials and the preventive maintenance programs of...
